FORGETFULNESS IS THE PLAGUE OF HUMANITY

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: TUESDAY 20th JULY

TOPIC: FORGETFULNESS IS THE PLAGUE OF HUMANITY  

TEXT:   Deuteronomy 32:17-18

Key verse: Jeremiah 2:32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. 

God wants us to remember Him always. He wants us to do well to remember His works because if we forget, forgetfulness has its implications. That was the reason why holy communion was given to the Church for Jesus said, “

This does in remembrance of me.” God wants us to remember good things for good reasons. He also wants us to remember some evil things because He has used those evil things to work out wonderful good for our lives. 

Forgetfulness is the plague of humanity. It hinders the blessings of many. Joseph was in prison with the chief butler and the chief baker; he interpreted their dreams for them and told the chief butler who was in charge of the king's wine that he was going to be restored to serve the king as before. 

He pleaded with him to remember him before the king as he was an innocent man cast into prison. The man left the prison, went back to his service and forgot the goodness of Joseph. 

He forgot to tell the king about someone he had met in prison who blessed his life and the effect of his forgetfulness was that Joseph spent some more time in the prison until God in His way provided another opportunity to interpret another dream, which made the butler remember Joseph. 

See the blessing that came upon Joseph when the chief butler remembered to tell the king about him: he became the second person in authority in the land and he delivered the land from starvation and death. Can you see what remembrance can do? 

There is much in remembrance for yourself and others but many suffer forgetfulness. You must pray that God will quicken your memory because you are forgetting important things. Some of you have forgotten shoes, money, clothes, even human beings. 

You went with them to a place and forgot that you went with somebody. At one time, Joseph and Mary forgot twelve-year-old Jesus at the temple in Jerusalem and set back home. It was on the way they remembered and returned to pick Him up. 

They forgot their Creator, Lord and Saviour who came in human flesh. So I pray the Lord will quicken your memory so that you will keep essential information in your active memory to enable you to retrieve them at critical moments for the blessing of yourself, your family and humanity. 

Thought for the day: In times of prosperity and adversity, always remember God and 
His good works.
Song for the day: Come and make my heart Your home

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 31-33; 
Acts 21:15-40. #Horemow

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
